Definitions
- the present invention relates to an anode, in particular a rotating anode intended to equip an X-ray tube.
- X-ray tubes used mainly in radiology are equipped with disc-shaped amodes or anticathodes whose function is to emit X-radiation from the parts of their surface which are subjected to the action of a flow of electrons coming from a cathode with a sufficiently high kinetic energy.
- this basic body had to have, at the same time, a high melting temperature, a high specific heat and a good coefficient of thermal conductivity.
- molybdenum we turned to graphite because it had a much higher specific heat and also because it was lighter, which simplified its rotation in the case of anodes rotating.
- problems with cracking of the active zone due, both to reactions which occur between the tungsten layer and the graphite and which lead to fragile intermediate layers and to differences in expansion between the materials present.
- it has been recommended to deposit a barrier layer between graphite and tungsten which can be, for example, pure rhenium as taught in French patent 1,575,117.
- This product is a nitrogenous aluminum compound, with the chemical formula AIN which can be obtained in powder form and whose thermal and mechanical properties allow it to be shaped by conventional sintering techniques to give a solid of density 3 , 26 approximately, that is to say a little larger than graphite but, clearly smaller than that of molybdenum.
- This product also has a relatively high melting temperature and in particular a good coefficient of thermal conductivity which makes it possible to channel and evacuate throughout the anode the significant thermal flux created in the active area.
- the Applicant has found perfect adhesion between the elements of the composite thus formed, a quality which is maintained over time. under the action of electron fluxes of very high kinetic energy.
- the anode according to the invention finds its application in all X-ray tubes including the most recent models implementing high powers and rotational speeds which can be greater than 10,000 revolutions / minute.
